'.l'he VSchedule referred to in these Lettera Patent and. making part of the same.-

To all whom 'it may concern.-

of my improved coal-scuttle.

My invention has for its object to improve the construction of coal-scuttles, hods, or buckets, so as to creasing the cost of manufacture; and

It consists -in the combination of an interior angular band with the cork or wood lining, and-with the body of the hoddor scuttle, as hereinafter more fully.

. described.

A represents an ordinary coal-scuttle, which may be made of sheet-iron, or other suitable metal.`

B is a cork or wooden lining, fitted into the interior of the bottom part of the scuttle A, so Vas torest upon the bottom of said scuttle.

lThe lining B may be secured in place by a band, C,

cation, in which the iigureis afdetail vertical section make them much more durable without materially in-V fitted into the angle between the body A and lining B. The lower part of the band C, that overlaps the lining B, should be an inch, more or less, in Width, and the upper part, that overlaps the body of the scnttle A, should be three inches, more or less, in width.

The band G may be secured in place by solder, rivets, or other convenient means.

This construction will protect the llower part of the scuttle, that is most subject to Wear, and will cause the hod or scuttle to wear much longer. The increase in the cost of manufacture, caused by the application of this improvement, will be tritling ;I in fact, my improved scuttle can bermade at less cost `than the ordinary galvanized scuttles.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire `to secure by Letters Patent-- f The combination of the angular .band 0,'witl1 the cork or wooden lining B, and with the body A, of an ordinary coal-scuttle, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
